No Sea Views available.
Pros:

Room and location for central Weymouth

Cons:

Couldn't get a sea view, although booked months in advance. Found out only once I'd arrived, that there was scaffolding from top to bottom all over the hotel mostly on the front for renovation purposes. Scaffolding was across the sea view windows, so I assume that's why there were no sea view rooms available, but was not informed of this.

A fantastic one night stay, we will be back!
Pros:

The location was perfect and the sea views from our room made it special

Cons:

Very early breakfast time of 8.30 on a Sunday
It will look better when the scaffold is removed of course

Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff
Sea view
Able to leave our luggage there outside of booked hours

Cons:

Scaffold outside and post painting aroma in the room were tolerable but not ideal. Cleaning was good but not immaculate, eg behind doors bit dusty, but nothing of importance that spoiled our stay.
Otherwise all great, with sea view and friendly and helpful staff.

Royal hotel
Pros:

Location, food, entertainment.

Cons:

We were not made aware of the scaffolding all over the front of the property, as we may have gone somewhere else if we had known.

Pros:

Central location. Next to the beach. Nice lounge. Attentive staff. Good breakfast. Reasonable priced bar

Cons:

Unfortunately lots of exterior work on building . Whole front
Was under scaffolding
Lack of parking. Long stay parking was close ( 5 mins work) but you will need to factor an additional £9 per day
